Great suggestions.
I wonder how the quality of meta tags has improved after Google said it doesn't consider them in its results...
Btw, does Google now take meta tags into account? -
Yes google does take meta tags into account but they dont give the meta description and meta keywords much importance. The title tag is very important to google's ranking. Also the meta description is important for human's, if written correctly they can increase the CTR (click through rate).

I have not yet seen the word supplemental yet on any search on any site, mine or anyone elses.
Maybe this is something google does to mess with spammermasters or overly obsessive types? -
Wow, I even have some supplementals on my site! I never even knew that existed! But at least, I can get that to go away..hopefully.

How to tell that Digg is facing a hard problem: There's hardly a day without a homepage link to an SEO site. This means one of two things: Digg users are interested in search engine optimization or the optimizers are successfully gaming the Digg rating system. Neither is a good sign for Digg's future.

Don't rely on Google for your traffic is the only rule/tip you need.
